OK, so I'm working on my BIG SHOW. I was working on it on the 22nd and it was fine. I saved after I was done with a unique file name to let me know to continue. Same as I've been doing.
Now, here's what's going on, or rather NOT going on:
The video is GONE. I mean, the file still exists. It's there, it's intact, the file is fine. But, I cannot import the file back in again. It just like "removed itself". This makes no sense because when I last opened it(as I do after a save, exit, reload to sanity check), it was fine. Now, 3 days later, it's screwed up.
The bin that contained it is gone too. Make a new bin, no big deal. Problem there? None, went just fine.
So, what happens when I try to actually use the video?
1: I can PLAY the video file.
2: When I try to drag it to the timeline, I get a little "lock" icon.
Making a NEW show is NOT an option.
Going back a few revisions to the "save revision", which is 3 revisions back, ALSO has the same problem. This fail-back file is showing "act 1 all taken care of". I don't want to go further back than that because I can't recall what was needed to do in prior revisions.
Now, if I make a NEW show, I have no issues. Make a new bin, import the video, drag to the timeline.
Other notes: Downloading the August 18th Beta. Running a July 2011 Beta. I am also plugging in my SD interface whenever I am doing any editing to ensure no features are being restricted.
So, I wanted this show done tonight. All I needed to do was tweak like 10 fog cues.
